Xuan Lao's expression suddenly grew serious, an overwhelming sense of pressure enveloping the entire training ground, as if the air itself had solidified, making it hard to breathe. Chu Sheng and Lin Yue instinctively moved closer to each other, their eyes warily scanning the distorted space around them, a sense of foreboding creeping into their hearts.
"Not good!" Xuan Lao exclaimed in a low, powerful voice. "Someone has broken through the barrier! These bastards are truly ruthless!"
Before he could finish speaking, a shadow appeared in the center of the training ground like a ghost, moving so fast it was almost imperceptible. The newcomer was dressed entirely in black, wearing a silver mask, exuding a chilling aura of a fifth-tier expert, as if they were a messenger from hell. Chu Sheng instantly recognized the emblem on the figure's chest— Heishan sect! His heart sank as he thought to himself, "This is bad."
"Chu Sheng, we meet again," the figure in black said, their voice cold and piercing, devoid of any emotion, as if it came from the depths of Jiuyou. "This time, there's no escape for you!"
Xuan Lao furrowed his brow and was about to take action when he suddenly froze in place, as if bound by an invisible force. "Damn it, someone tampered with the barrier!" he gritted his teeth in anger. "My power is suppressed! These little bastards are truly insidious!"
Lin Yue immediately stepped in front of Chu Sheng, an aura of coldness surrounding her like a goddess of ice protecting her follower. "Chu Sheng, you go first! I'll hold him off!" Her voice was firm and resolute, without a hint of hesitation.
"Want to leave? Not a chance!" The figure in black sneered, their tone dripping with disdain. "No one can save you today! You all will die!"
Before the words had even left their mouth, their figure vanished in an instant, moving like lightning. The next moment, a fierce gust of wind struck towards Chu Sheng's face with overwhelming force. Chu Sheng barely managed to dodge but was still grazed on the shoulder by the wind, sending him flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground.
The Merit Book vibrated violently: [Warning: Fifth-tier expert detected; immediate retreat recommended! This is not a joke!]
Chu Sheng awkwardly rolled onto his feet, blood trickling from his mouth as if his internal organs had been displaced. The power behind that strike far exceeded his expectations, making him acutely aware of the insurmountable chasm between Fourth Rank and fifth-tier experts.
"Is that all you've got? You dare oppose Zheng Shen?" The figure in black scoffed mockingly. "You really overestimate yourself!"
Enduring the excruciating pain, Chu Sheng stood up with increasingly determined eyes, like flames igniting within him. "Today, it's either you die or I do!" He knew that he had to fight today! The Merit Book within him surged with energy as streams of Merit Power flowed into his limbs and bones, granting him immense strength.
“Rapid!” Chu Sheng whispered, his figure instantly transforming into a fleeting shadow, moving with astonishing speed.
The man in black snorted coldly, “A mere trick! How dare you show off in front of me!” With a casual wave of his hand, an invisible force field enveloped the entire training ground, resembling a massive cage that trapped Chu Sheng within. Chu Sheng felt his body grow heavy, his speed drastically reduced as if he had sunk into a quagmire.
“This is... the domain of a Fifth-Rank expert!” Xuan Lao's expression changed dramatically, filled with concern. “Chu Sheng, be careful! This is the unique domain power of a Fifth-Rank expert, capable of suppressing your speed and strength!”
The attacks from the man in black came like a torrential storm, each strike imbued with earth-shattering power that was nearly impossible to withstand. Chu Sheng dodged with all his might, dancing on the edge of a blade; one misstep could lead to his demise. Despite his best efforts, he was still hit several times, leaving him battered and bloodied.
Lin Yue attempted to assist but was swatted away by the man in black as if she were a mere fly. “You overestimate yourself, little girl. Stay put!” The man’s voice dripped with disdain.
Seeing Lin Yue lying incapacitated on the ground ignited a spark of anger in Chu Sheng's eyes, filling him with worry. He suddenly realized that while the man in black's attacks were fierce, they seemed overly reliant on brute force; each strike was delivered with full power and lacked variation, much like a raging beast that only knew how to charge forward.
“Perhaps... this is his flaw!” A bold idea sparked in Chu Sheng's mind.
He began to consciously guide the man's attacks, dodging while moving toward a special area of the training ground. It was a unique formation node he had discovered earlier during training, harboring immense energy.
“Run? Do you think I’ll give you that chance?” The man in black sneered as he pursued, completely oblivious to Chu Sheng’s intentions—like an enraged bull fixated on chasing after a red cloth.
Just as the man was about to catch up to Chu Sheng, he suddenly stopped and turned to counterattack, poised like a leopard ready to pounce. This unexpected move caught the man off guard; his attack rhythm faltered slightly, revealing an opening.
Now!
Chu Sheng stomped on the ground, activating the hidden formation. Runes illuminated instantly, sparkling like stars in the night sky, forming a massive energy vortex that emitted powerful suction. The man in black was caught off guard and pulled by the overwhelming force, his stance wavering as if he were about to be swallowed whole.
"You!" The man in black was filled with rage and disbelief, never expecting to fall for such a scheme. His voice was laced with resentment and anger.
Chu Sheng seized the opportunity, channeling all his energy into the Merit Power. Four types of abilities erupted in an instant—flames, ice, raging winds, and the power of the earth intertwined, creating a terrifying energy storm that swept everything in its path, as if the apocalypse had descended.
"Die!" Chu Sheng roared, pouring all his strength into this one strike, unstoppable like a volcanic eruption.
The energy storm crashed heavily against the chest of the man in black. Even a fifth-tier expert could not fully withstand such a terrifying attack. The man let out a muffled groan as his armor shattered instantly, blood splattering like a kite severed from its string, flying backward.
At that moment, powerful auras suddenly descended, akin to deities coming down from the heavens. Several figures appeared; they were the experts from Tian Yun Sect!
"Chu Sheng, step back!" The leading expert shouted with authority, his tone commanding. "Leave this traitor to us!"
Seeing this, the man in black's expression changed dramatically. "Damn it!" He attempted to flee but was surrounded by the experts from Tian Yun Sect, unable to escape.
"Trying to run? It's too late!" The experts from Tian Yun Sect struck simultaneously, ensnaring the severely injured man in black like a net, rendering him immobile.
Only then did Chu Sheng breathe a sigh of relief, but dizziness soon overwhelmed him; darkness clouded his vision, and he nearly fainted. He forced himself to walk over to Lin Yue and confirmed that she had only sustained minor injuries before finally succumbing to unconsciousness.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, he heard the notification sound from the Merit Book: [Special Task Completed: First defeat of a fifth-tier expert. Reward: Qualification for Bloodline Awakening.]
